Subject: [ferrethealth] avoiding a new operating system's possible degradation of x-ray and other health care images
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Those far more technologically literate than I am have said that if
your computer is "mission critical" for images, for example if you
use it for x-rays, it would pay to wait and let the problems with
Vista settle out first because when Vista is not happy its copy
protection scheme/digitial rights management scheme has the potential
to degrade images. One thing that makes Vista unhappy is using
monitors other than the new one with specific cabling. Furthermore,
that image degradation can be exploited or triggered by hackers, by
malware, or if the machine is used for other uses but then not
properly reinitialized before use for the x-ray viewing.
If adding Vista before the quirks are worked out, please, make sure
that you carefully fulfill all of its needs with each use, even if
costly, and that those have been explained to you in detail.
Please, see:

and other reputable references and watch for possible changes or
improvements before release next month.
